Haven't read anyone on here "whining" yet, most seem to be just amused at the thought that a person would actually be "offended" if a master plumber showed up to fix their leak ! As for Bunker, think maybe that was a comedy TV show. Comedy, the ability to laugh at the foolish thing we and others do, has resulted in a very think skinned, overly sensitive, population that must have a "safe space" to avoid the micro aggression they "might" encounter in life. Sure hope we don't encounter WW III, we'll loose for sure !

Actually, the OP SPECIFICALLY referred to The Villages.

"The Villages goes WOKE"
"
I’ve noticed over the last few weeks that TV new home floor plans label the “Master” suite and bath as “Primary”.

Again, he/she/they (see what I did there?) did not say ONLY TV... I do believe it's "common knowledge" that this has been going on (nationally) for some time. A reasonable person would surmise that TV is now JOINING those who feel the need to change perfectly acceptable language...

I wonder what are they gonna do about the Masters golf tournament. Surely they have to change that name.

In NY they changed the name from inmates to incarcerated individual.

Master comes from the Latin word magistier, which means chief.

How about Master Carpenter, does that have to go?

I get a kick out of the word game mental gymnastics. lol.
.....or a Masters level degree.

Adapt changes. Things change most are afraid of changes. I am all about changes.

Not offended at all, just nutty WOKEsters forcing it down our throats on how to use words.
Why not say it the way your Mom and Dad used to say it, MASTER BEDROOM!
You can just get out of your Primary room and go vote in the Primary because it's a Primary concern to do so.
